AVI
AVI is short for "Audio Video Interleave", the original Microsoft file format
for Microsoft's Video for Windows standard. It is an audio video standard
designed by Microsoft and is apparently proprietary and Microsoft Windows
specific. It is a format developed for storing video and audio information.
Files in this format have an .AVI extension. These files are limited to 320 x
240 resolution, and 30 frames per second, neither of which is adequate for full
screen, full motion video. However, Video for Windows does not require any
special hardware, making it the lowest common denominator for multimedia
applications.

MPEG
MPEG (.mpg or .mpeg) - Gives excellent compression with little loss in quality
of the video. MPEG support three types of data - video, audio and streaming.
There are a number of standards: among them there are two flavors of MPEG
available today. MPEG-1 was designed to provide VHS video quality and CD audio
quality at a combined data rate of 150 kilobytes per second. MPEG-1 is
displayed at 30 frames per second in a frame that is 352x240 (horizontal x
vertical) pixels in size. This allows relatively high quality video images to
be stored in relatively small file sizes for playback across computer networks
or CD-ROM delivery. MPEG-2 is the other side of the compression coin. It is a
broadcast standard specifying a playback size of 720 x 480 pixels at 60 fields
per second. Data rates can range from 2 to 10 megabits per second. This means
large file sizes and data rates that require specialized hardware for playback.
MPEG-2 is one of the core compression technologies for DVD.
-
WMV
Windows Media (.wmv or .asf) - This is Microsoft's new standard for audio and
video which is closely tied with the Windows Operating System. The player is
able to play Windows Media Video (.wmv) and Advanced Streaming Format (.asf)
files, and also other formats such as QuickTime, AVI, MPEG and MP3.
-
RM
RealMedia (.rm) provides one of the oldest and most widespread (85% of all
web-accessing computers have RealPlayer installed) Web delivery formats. The
RealMedia files (.rm) can be viewed using RealPlayer 3 and above.
-
MOV
QuickTime describes a format for the creation and distribution of video, audio
and other formats. Although now an ISO standard, it was initially developed by
Apple Inc. for use in MacIntosh computers. Although it comes with the System
software distribution, it is updated periodically by Apple.

3GP
3GP is a file format which is used in mobile phones to store media (audio and
video). This file format is a simpler version of "ISO 14496-1 (MPEG-4) Media
Format", which is similar to MOV (used by QuickTime). 3GP stores video as
MPEG-4 or H.263. Audio is stored in AMR-NB or AAC-LC formats. 3GPP also
describes image sizes and bandwidth, so content is correctly sized for mobile
display screens. The term "3GPP specification" covers all GSM (including GPRS
and EDGE) and W-CDMA specifications. The following terms are also used to
describe networks using the 3G specifications: UTRAN, UMTS (in Europe) and FOMA
(in Japan).
-
MP4
MP4 is the global file extension for the MPEG-4 container format including all
kinds of multimedia content (video, natural and synthetic audio, 2D and 3D
graphics, animated avatars, user interactivity, etc.) that can be streamed over
any kind of connection or network. It exploits two primary coding strategies to
reduce the amount of data needed to convey high-quality digital audio: removing
the signal components that are "perceptually irrelevant" and can be discarded
without a perceived loss of audio quality and eliminating the redundancies in
the coded audio signal. Usual bitrates values are 64 - 256 kbps.
To save your movie to the one of the media formats enumerated
above, please use Save Movie menu pane.
